How to Make Cream EyeshadowMarch 10, 2013 By Rebecca D. Dillon 21 Comments Learn how to make your own lush DIY pigment eyeshadow thats rich in color but goes on smooth like a cream eyeshadow with my DIY Cream Eyeshadow recipe. Its perfect for those wanting a quality makeup product without all the chemicals you find in many mass market commercial cosmetics.

What I love about this handmade cream eyeshadow is that it contains no scary chemicals or preservatives. However, like all makeup, youll want to discard it after three months and start with a fresh batch. Always use clean hands and applicators when applying to help avoid bacteria being introduced into your makeup.
